Three pearls in one shell Heidelberg Retina Tomograph
HRT the practice builder HRT for every practice Milestones of a pioneer 1991 Heidelberg Retina Tomograph First scanning laser system for glaucoma exam. 1999 Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II First miniaturized scanning laser system for routine glaucoma exam. 2002 Retina Module New technology to detect and quantify macular edema. 2004 Rostock Cornea Module New technology to image cornea and conjunctiva. 2005 Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3 Enhanced glaucoma software on a new, compact and portable hardware platform. Multiple applications: Glaucoma Retinal Edema Cornea/Conjunctiva Easy handling No dilation Laptop or PC Single or shared use Practice-builder The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) is a confocal laser scanning system for imaging of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. It comprises three modules which can be used independently or combined with each other. The major routine clinical application is analysis of the optic nerve head structure for glaucoma diagnosis. A second application is in diabetes for the location and quantification of retinal edema. And with the Rostock Cornea Module, the HRT is converted into a confocal microscope for in vivo assessment of the cornea and conjunctiva. Worldwide, more than 7.000 HRTs support physicians and optometrists in diagnosis and followup. Their long-term experience has confirmed the high diagnostic value of HRT examinations, based on highly reproducible measurements. Both 2- and 3-dimensional images are acquired with high resolution and without data interpolation. Built-in quality controls enable the user to evaluate image quality during and after the acquisition. The HRT is a tried-and-tested, versatile technology you can rely on.
One platform three applications The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph is a multi-diagnostic platform offering non-invasive assessment of ONH, retina and cornea. Glaucoma Module The new HRT is the single most powerful technology to help you assess, diagnose and manage glaucoma. The new Glaucoma Probability Score (GPS) gives an objec-tive, user-independent, structural assessment of the optic nerve head using artificial intelligence and ethnic-specific databases. Enhanced progression analyses identify and track areas of statistically significant change over time to assess glaucomatous progression. These tools increase physician confidence in detecting real, clinically significant changes in optic nerve head structure. Cornea Module In vivo imaging of cornea, limbus and conjunctiva can be made. One micron resolution gives high definition analysis and superb detail of corneal structures in real time and the ability to evaluate and monitor corneal pathology, pre- and post-op. LASIK, keratoplasty or corneal health of contact lens wearers. In addition, endothelial cell counting as well as intra-corneal pachymetry can be performed. Retina Module Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the western adult population. The Retina Module automatically locates and quantifies edema. Physicians appreciate this quick and noninvasive method to assess diabetic macular edema, central serous retinopathy, cystoid macular edema, occlusive diseases and macular holes. The Retina Module is the only means to pre-cisely quantify change of retinal edema over time.
Versatile and portable Maximum space utilization Compact & portable design The new compact HRT platform is ideal for different practice environments as well as shared use. The HRT is now notebook or PC enabled, using the latest FireWire technology. A new ergonomically designed notebook table offers an elegant look, but also convenient access for both physician and patient, including those in wheelchairs. Alternatively, the HRT can be used with a standard PC and table. An optional carrying case slides over the scanning head, enabling easy and secure transportation between offices.
A modular software system Solutions for digital practice management Heidelberg Eye Explorer The software of all laser-scanning and OCT * devices from Heidelberg Engineering are based on the Heidelberg Eye Explorer (HEYEX) operating system. The HEYEX covers all basic functions of the patient database and patient file. Software for acquisition and analysis Besides the full software (image acquisition and viewing) provided with each device, a separate viewing software is available for each software module, enabling users to access all images and patient data. Participants of telemedicineprojects (shared practices etc.) which do not have an HRT in their practice can use the viewing software to import, analyze and archive data. The HRT is email-enabled to transfer patient results electronically as jpg or bmp files, making exchange of paper printouts a method of the past. HRT in network environments HRT can be used stand-alone or within network environments. For parallel use of the software on several computers within a network, additional networking licenses can be obtained. These network licenses cover all modules installed on the network. Image Capture Module The Image Capture Module enables the import of digital images or documents from other devices (fundus cameras, OCT, perimeter etc.) into the Heidelberg Eye Explorer patient file. The patient file organizes patient s images centrally, allowing for easy access, diagnosis and printing reports. Connection to practice-management software The HEYEX operating system can be connected to patient management software systems (IFA, Medistar, Turbomed and others). This enables quick and convenient import of patient data into the digital patient file. Should your patient management system currently not offer connection with the HEYEX, we will be happy to make the data exchange program available to your provider free of charge for implementation.
